A court has lifted the summons to
former Transport CS Michael Kamau over abuse of office after receiving
his original medical report.
Milimani senior principal magistrate Lawrence Mugambi said on Thursday that the documents show Kamau is unwell and cannot appear in court.
Mugambi had issued summons for the ex-CS to appear in court today saying documents that had been tabled before him were not genuine.
Kamau's lawyer had told the magistrate on Wednesday that he had returned from out of the country but was unwell.
The former CS, who was suspended in March 2015 and replaced in November 2015, faces five charges of abuse of office and irregular use of public funds.
He was also accused of failing to comply with procedures by ignoring the design of the Kamukuywa-Kapsokwony-Sirisia road, leading to a loss of Sh33.3 million. This was while he served as Permanent Secretary in the Roads ministry.
Kamau was charged in June 2015 with abuse of office and failure to follow the procurement rules.
He was released on Sh1 million cash bail after he denied all the charges levelled against him.
The case will be heard on March 4.
